Hansi Flick comments on Lamine Yamal’s frustration over substitution

Barcelona defeated Eintracht Frankfurt 2–1 in the sixth round of the UEFA Champions League, but late in the match Lamine Yamal was substituted — and his displeasure was clear.

Details: At the post-match press conference, Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick was asked about the situation. He explained that the substitution was required, as Yamal had been booked and needed rest.

Quote: Lamine was a bit frustrated with the substitution, but he had received a yellow card, and we needed fresh legs, Flick said.

Barcelona will play their next match on Saturday, December 13, hosting Osasuna. Kick-off is scheduled for 18:30 CET.

As a reminder: Koundé etched his name into Barcelona’s Champions League history, becoming the first Barça player to score two headed goals in a single UEFA Champions League match.
